Reverse matrix converters, which can step up voltages, are suitable for applications with source voltages that are lower than load voltages, such as generator systems. Reverse matrix converter topologies are advantageous because they do not require additional components to conventional matrix converters. In this paper, a detection method and a post-fault modulation strategy to operate a converter as close as possible to its desired normal operation under the open-switch fault condition in the rectifier stage are proposed. An open-switch fault in the rectifier stage of a reverse matrix converter causes current distortions and voltage ripples in the system. Therefore, fault-tolerant control for open-switch faults is required to improve the reliability of a system. The proposed strategy determines the appropriate switching stages from among the remaining healthy switches of the converter. This is done based on reference currents or voltages. The performance of the proposed strategy is experimentally verified.

Direct duty-ratio PWM schemes for continuous fault tolerant operation of matrix converter-fed motor drives are presented. The proposed method features simple modular modulation structure based on per output phase concept, which requires no additional modification on the normal modulation schemes for fault-tolerant applications. Realizations of fault-tolerant strategy applied to different system configurations are also treated to enhance the system flexibility. The proposed method can be effectively applied to treat the motor open phase fault and converter switching device failure. Simulation and experimental results show the feasibility and validation of the proposed strategies.

결험 허용(fault olerant) 방법에는 두 개의 시스템으로 같은 직업을 수행하게 하는 이중계(duplex) 시스템과, 체크포인트를 두어 결함 발생 시 rollback 하는 checkpoint & rollback 시스템이 있다. 기존 결함 허용 시스템에서는 요구되는 신뢰성을 유지하며 테스크의 수행시간을 단축시키는데 주안점을 두었지만 시간제약을 갖는 실시간 응용 분야에서는 신뢰성 유지와 정해진 시간 이내에 테스크를 종료시키는 것이 더욱 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 이들 결함 허용 시스템을 실시간 응용 측면에서 비교 분석하였다.

This paper proposes a method for fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control of DC-link voltage sensor for two-stage three-phase grid-connected PV inverters. Generally, the front-end DC-DC boost converter tracks the maximum power point (MPP) of PV array and the rear-end DC-AC inverter is used to generate a sinusoidal output current and keep the DC-link voltage constant. In this system, a sensor is essential for power conversion. A sensor fault is detected when there is an error between the sensed and estimated values, which are obtained from a DC-link voltage sensorless algorithm. Fault-tolerant control is achieved by using the estimated values. A deadbeat current controller is used to meet the dynamic characteristic of the proposed algorithm. The proposed algorithm is validated by simulation and experiment results.

동적인 이동 네트워크는 다중의 무선 Ad-hoc 네트워크들로 구성된 독립적인 WPAN(Wireless Personal Network)이 모인 이동 네트워크의 한 종류이다. 휴대폰과 같은 모바일 장치들이 동적인 이동 네트워크에서 모바일 라우터로 동작하기 때문에 트래픽 과부하, 네트워크 신뢰도, 에너지 소모율 등의 네크워크 fail과 관련된 문제점 들이 제시된다. 따라서 동적인 이동 네트워크에서 fault tolerant 메커니즘은 필수적인 이슈가 될 것이다. 본 논문에서는 빠른 경로 변경 메커니즘과 추가적인 모바일 라우터 선정 메커니즘을 이용하여 향상된 fault tolerant 메커니즘을 제시한다. 최종적으로 모의실험을 통해 에너지 소모율과 패킷 손실 측면에서의 효율성을 보여줄 것이다.

Due to low cost, low-power, and scalability, ZigBee is considered an efficient wireless AMR infrastructure. However, these characteristics of ZigBee can make the devices more vulnerable to unexpected error environments. In this paper, a fault-tolerant wireless AMR network (FWAMR) is proposed, which is designed to improve the robustness of the conventional ZigBee-based AMR systems by coping well with dynamic error environments. The experimental results demonstrate that the FWAMR is considerably fault-tolerant compared with the conventional ZigBee-based AMR network.

This paper is concerned with tasking and guidance of networked airborne sensors to achieve fault-tolerant sensing. The sensors are coordinated to locate hostile transmitters by intercepting and processing their signals. Faults occur when some sensor-carrying vehicles engaged in target location missions are lost. Faults effectively change the network architecture and therefore degrade the network performance. The first objective of the paper is to optimally allocate a finite number of sensors to targets to maximize the network life and availability. To that end allocation policies are solved from relevant Markov decision problems. The sensors allocated to a target must continue to adjust their trajectories until the estimate of the target location reaches a prescribed accuracy. The second objective of the paper is to establish a criterion for vehicle guidance for which fault-tolerant sensing is achieved by incorporating the knowledge of vehicle loss probability, and by allowing network reconfiguration in the event of loss of vehicles. Superior sensing performance in terms of location accuracy is demonstrated under the established criterion.

This paper proposes a novel level-shifted PWM (LS-PWM) strategy for fault tolerant cascaded multilevel inverter. Most proposed fault-tolerant operation methods in many of studies are based on a phase-shifted PWM (PS-PWM) method. To apply these methods to multilevel inverter systems using LS-PWM, two additional steps will be implemented. During the occurrence of a single-inverter-cell fault, the carrier bands scheme is reconfigured and modulation levels of inverter cells are reassigned in this proposed fault-tolerant operation. The proposed strategy performs balanced three-phase line-to-line voltages and line currents when a switching device fault occurs in a cascaded multilevel inverter using LS-PWM. Simulation and experimental results are included in the paper to verify the proposed method.

사물인터넷의 개념은 계속 발전하고 있으며, 그 웅용 분야를 넓히고 있다. 그러나, 만약에 사물인터넷 시스템에 저장된 중요한 데이터가 손상되고 복구할 수 없다면, 우리 사회는 상당한 피해와 혼란을 겪게 될 것이다. 지금까지의 결함허용에 대한 연구는 주로 컴퓨터시스템에 대해서 대부분 이루어졌으며, 사물인터넷에 관한 연구는 극히 적었다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는, 사물인터넷 환경에서의 결함허용 방법을 제안한다. 즉, 기존의 EVENODD 결함 허용 방법에 기초하여, IoT 서버의 원본 데이터에 대한 결함허용 저장 및 복구 방법을 제안하고, 이를 oneM2M 기반 사물인터넷 시스템에 구현하였다. 본 연구의 결함 허용 방법은 두 단계(결함 허용 저장과 복구)로 나뉜다. 결함 허용 저장 단계에서는 F-T 게이트웨이를 지정하고 결함 허용 데이터를 F-T 게이트웨이들에게 EVENODD 방식으로 분산 저장한다. 결함 복구 단계에서는 정상적인 F-T 게이트웨이들로부터 결함허용 관련 데이터를 수신한 IoT 서버는 복구 절차를 수행한다. 즉, EVENODD 배열을 재구성하고 분할된 데이터들을 합병하여 원본 데이터를 생성하여 복구한다.
